Do you know an environmental champion?

LSRCA looking for nominations for annual Conservation Awards

Newmarket, ON – May 8, 2017 –We're on the lookout for environmental champions. They're not always that easy to find because they don't go around in capes and they don't do their good deeds for the recognition. Most of the time, we rely on others to tell us about their actions.

That's why we're asking for help. We want people to tell us about the wonderful heroes they know of that are doing things that make this watershed a better place to live. People like Eun Young Lee, from Newmarket, who retrofitted his dry cleaning business, Dry Cleaners Plus, with a new state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly process. Or Lefroy Harbour Resorts, for their environmental stewardship program. Or Karen and Wayne Rynard, of Uxbridge, who removed invasive buckthorn from their farm property and replanted it with tree seedlings.

If you know of people or groups that are working to improve the state of our local environment, let us know. Eligibility requirements and the award nomination form are now online.
